temp front plate installation w/ NO drilling on bumper
Couldn't find any thread on this for some strange reason but I'm sure some (ALL lol) of you guys hate having a front plate and thought of ways to put it up w/o drilling any holes on the bumper. I was think of using 3M tape as the best idea so far but found this:

I use the tow hook. I only put it on when I head into certain cities that tend to cite for no front plates (e.g. San Francisco or LAX); otherwise, I only have the rear plate. The temporary solution seems workable, but wonder how it impacts cooling considering the plate blocks a significant part of the front vents.

I don't use the tow hook because it puts the plate directly in front of my parking sensor and I get a non-stop tone telling me I'm way too close to my license plate.

I went ahead and ordered US Mill Works front plate mount. Though in VA I've never run a front license plate. Once in a while I've gotten a ticket. With this car, though, I want everything straight up ... unfortunately it will be an "attractive nuisance" and I don't want to give traffic cops a reason to pull me over.

Mine are from US Mill Works as well. They're really high quality.
I had a friend who installed this on his VW GTI. It seemed to work okay. Not something I would do for my cars, but could be an option. https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Powe.../dp/B001TLLZ4E

Bumping this to see if any new ideas. Right now just leaning towards the 3M solution (will laminate the plate to protect from bugs). Any better ideas?
